You seem really experienced in riding and basics on the ground, but owning a horse is much more than that. It's about knowing what to do in an emergency, and what to do when your horse starts playing up. When I got my horse Heartbeat she had really bad feet and a trust problem, but now she's competing at state level in dressage. So if you think you can do that go ahead! Congrats!

Yes, I'm definitely not going to rush into it! I'm waiting a little while longer. I'm going to start looking and possibly trying out some horses in the next month or so. I will definitely be riding it a few times and getting to know it a bit so I know for sure if its the right horse for me!
Thank you for the advice!

Hey! That's SO AWESOME that you might get a horse! Really amazing. I've wanted a horse since I was 5 and I'm now 13 and still no horse...yet. But I have been riding for a long time.
Anyways, by what you wrote I think you have a lot of knowledge and you sound pretty prepared about getting a horse. Just know that it will not be as easy as you might think even with you experience that you already have since you haven't owned a horse. I think you should get a horse.
But other than that, congrats! And enjoy it! And let us know if you do :-)

The way my mom was able to tell if I was ready was seeing if I was responsible with my dog and my chores. Seeing that I was, she got me one. Also, my trainer talked to her about a horse that she found that was perfect for me.

It really is your own choice but if you feel ready, then get a horse. I would just not rush it so take your time in finding what horse will suit you and what you want to do with it.
